Popis: Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska is an important contemporary mystic vocation from the Catholic space. Her diary represents a valuable piece of the genre of spiritual autobiography. For this reason, we will try in this research to bring into attention her spiritual life, activity and the way how she contributes to the enrichment of the spiritual literature withe ecumenical value. Together with the ones of Teresa of Calcutta and Pope John Paul the Second, her writings represent the most important contemporary spiritual autobiographies from the Catholic space in the contemporary period. For this reason, we will try there to emphasize them and to speak about the way how, through these notes, Kowalska reveals her spiritual concerns and achievements and can offer solutions to some of the problems of contemporary faithful or create bridges between the spiritualties of different Christian traditions.
